Languages of the CPC!

But it sounds like a sad small sip of beer for me...

Well you're in luck then, I've only ever seen them at 375ml

still not a pint tho. Being English beer must be served in pints! OK 568ml for the eurozone lol.

Interesting that far... only 2 Greeks, but 3 from Norway and Denmark.


Expected a bit more people from eastern Europe though.

As I remember there was one more Greek lately, can't remember his nick though.

I think there's at least another Finn besides me.

Danish catch up now

Well, I have to look at this again tbh. Forgot the details... However memory is not an issue, the sturcture underneath is a C program interpreting it IIRC. Gotta search for some discs, somehow I don't have DSK's.

Okay. So you don't know how advanced this Python implementation might be?

Contra or something, I think.

[TFM]

Contra like Gryzor?    Greeks have nice nicks! 

[Gryzor]

it. Was. A. Joke.

I ... had... a ... (couple)... drinks... .yesterday.

Push!

I'm curious to find out how much different languages CPC owners do speak. So best thing is maybe to make a poll and then see if we miss somebody.

I know a little Straylian if that helps.

Native English speaker living in Japan - I speak some Japanese

I wonder if there are any other CPC owners in Japan - I've never seen the hardware or software  over here - there's atari stuff and even a vectrex in the store in town, but no sign of the CPC

I'm tempted to release a game only in japanese (with kanji) on CPC as a bit of a joke.

I recall a series of NEC computers with a Z80 compatible processor that was built in Japan around 1983/4. I don't recall the models it was something like PC8001A, though there was a couple of others.

Of course the MSX is/was very popular out here, and is Z80 based, in many ways it's the japanese equivalent to the CPC, but their display capabilities are very different.

The early ones could only do hiragana, some of the MSX2's could do Kanji - but needed a 128k rom of symbols to do it - I wonder how doable it would be on an un-upgraded 6128...
